Quirky Fairfield poet Bridgford comes back to perform as touring poet for Connecticut Poetry Circuit
People often assume that poets write about esoteric, abstract subjects. However, Kim Bridgford beat the stereotype with her poems that discuss the woman with the longest fingernails and the chicken who survived 18 months without a head. Bridgford, an English professor at Fairfield University who has been named the 2007 touring poet for the Connecticut Poetry Circuit, held a poetry reading on Monday at Fairfield University.
